Following up from this, while it wasn't bad enough to decline the submission, it's probably worth expanding the citations in the article a bit through adding inline citations for some of the sources you listed. You might also wish to cover Moehanga's legacy and 'Moehanga Day' which has shown up recently. Turnagra (talk) 19:02, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

AfC notification: Draft:Alexander Buchanan has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Alexander Buchanan. Thanks! Robert McClenon (talk) 16:06, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Robert,

Thanks for letting me know. I'm not sure how to disambiguate a Wikipedia article. Could you help me with this? The draft article for Alexander Buchanan should be written as Alexander Buchanan (pioneer stockman).

Cheers, Sam. Samuel Doering (talk) 11:08, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Paul Pfeiffer (poet) moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Paul Pfeiffer (poet). Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it has no sources, it is promotional and reads like an advertisement and has no categories and acceptable structure . Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 02:45, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for moving my Paul Pfeiffer (poet) article to draftspace. I unintentionally published the article, and was scrambling to undo it, but it was too late. Now I can properly reference the article and refine some of the language.

Thank you, once again, and I apologise for my unprofessional behaviour on Wikipedia. Samuel Doering (talk) 10:07, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
